John, the instructor and owner, was a great teacher and welcoming host. I was travelling for business and training in his school during my stay. Part of the benefit of Gracie is once you are a member you can access other training centres part of the network. It is great to be welcomed somewhere during business trips. Great for ground game come check it out.

I trained with John over the course of 2+ years and had a great experience while learning the art of Gracie JJ. John is a great communicator and very skilled at teaching every level of jiu jitsu.

I am a head instructor at GU in Torrance and was invited to teach a Seminar at John's school. I was welcomed with open arms and the facility was clean and professional. Staff, instructors and students are super friendly. I had a great time. GJJ Lexington has my full endorsement! Keep up the good work!

I was on a business trip in the area for a week and attended several Gracie Combatives classes. The facility was wonderful and very clean. John (owner/instructor) was welcoming, professional and made me, a short time visitor, wish I was staying in the area longer. He really fostered a great environment which was mirrored by several students I had pleasure of meeting and practicing with during my stay. I highly recommend this spot!

I'm a former resident of Columbia that moved to Florida some years back. I started training BJJ there and when I recently visited Columbia to see family, I wanted to get in some training on Saturday morning. I contacted Sensei Carter about a drop-in and he was very welcoming. The academy is very nice and well-maintained. Everyone was so friendly and I picked up some great tips for my guillotine. It was such a great experience, I would certainly train more at this academy if I was in the area!
